My 3yr old DD has come down with chicken pox :banghead: (thanks childcare!) Heaps of questions!
What can I do for her? She is feeling fine, but a bit itchy. I know it's rare for it to become really bad, but what do I need to look out for? (just in case)
How long is she infectious for? My 4yr old DS is at kindy, how long do I have to keep him home for if he does/doesn't come down with it? What's the incubation period for chicken pox?
Is it true that my 3 month old will be in part protected from catching it because I'm bf? Is it more dangerous in little ones?
Aaaarrrggghh not looking forward to having all three home for weeks :no:
